The lighthouse
property as seen from the air around 1950. By this time, the building had
been painted a cream color with green trim, however, the lantern box was
still black. Note the octagonal cable storage structure among the trees,
and the empty rolls of cable. This cable was used for supplying power to
offshore lighthouses in the Straits area.
